Also, are you using Layers in this file? A layer can be designated non-printing, and in that case, it won't output to PDF, either.

I noticed you're using the just-released InDesign 2026. I wonder if you have the same problem with InDesign 2025? If you don't have it installed anymore, you can reinstall it from the Creative Cloud app. If you do have the problem in InDesign 2025, then also let us know what PDF export settings you're using as well as your macOS version.
